Hark!: A Novel of the 87th Precinct Audiobook (Free)

Ed McBain concocts a brilliant and complex thriller in regards to a grasp lawbreaker who haunts the city with cryptic passages from Shakespeare, directing the detectives from the 87th Precinct to another crime — if only they can find out what he means.

The 87th Precinct gets a go to from one from the city’s most achieved thieves — a thief known as the Deaf Man. Because he might be deaf. Or he could not. So small is known about the person who is harassing Detective Steve Carella with puzzling about Hark!: A Book of the 87th Precinct text messages that it is hard to tell. But when a pattern emerges, the detectives from the 87th are forced to hit the books and brush up on their Shakespeare — because each fresh clue includes a line from one of his takes on. Unless they can crack this complicated riddle and defeat the Deaf Man at his own cat-and-mouse game, somebody will end up hurt, or something will end up being taken — or both. It’s always so difficult to tell with the Deaf Man.

Ed McBain brings his most intelligent and devious criminal back again to the 87th Precinct using a richly plotted and literary criminal offense.
